Anything to stop the ongoing Israeli genocide. A tonne of that crap about Iran is just overblown fear mongering from the west anyways. They've got their issues sure but not much worse than the US
They hanged a man on the anniversary of Kian's death. Kian was a 10 year old who got shot by security forces. So the IRI pinned the murder on someone else and hanged him. Two years earlier Basijis first kidnapped a 16 year from the protests, then raped and beat her to death. They returned her body two weeks later, claiming she jumped off a building. Those were two of the at least 551 deaths during those protests. The US reported 19 deaths during the George Floyd protests. 19 too much. Not on the same scale as Iran. Domestically, those two are not (nah, were not, don't know what the Dons gonna do) comparable.
I have in-laws in Iran. That "crap" wasn't overblown, people got beaten and raped for protesting.
So yeah, Im not gonna cry about Iranian hits on Israeli industry or military bases, but I'm not gonna celebrate Iran either.
The same US that has continuously gave unconditional support & weapons for murdering over 50,000 in Gaza since October 7, 2023, including over 20,000 children? The same US that killed over 100,000 civilians in Iraq? Obama had Chelsea Manning imprisoned & subject to years of inhumane punishment for showing the American people what was actually going on. Really does take a lot of pretending to walk in your shoes.
Weight until you hear how many people the US has murdered overseas. Though I know westerners don't care about foreigners.
